When I Woke Up I Was a Hippopotamus
by Tom MacRae (Author) and Ross Collins (Illustrator)
Booktalk: A little boy transforms into different creatures as his moods change throughout the day, until finally he goes a little too far and discovers his parents have transformed too!

When I woke up I was a

then took one look out of the window
and got straight back into bed.
